Private AI that runs anywhere
We're building AI inference and training engines that run frontier-capable models on commodity CPUs. No GPU. No high memory. Fully local and private. Our architecture combines sparse expert routing, linear-complexity attention, and extreme quantization to eliminate the hardware barriers to AI.
Built from scratch in Rust and C++. Tested at 130B+ parameters.
Trains and infers on commodity hardware. No GPU or specialized accelerator needed.
Runs locally. Your data never leaves your machine. No cloud dependency.
Performance stays constant as model size grows. Add capacity without adding cost.
Millions of tiny experts, only a handful active per token. Compute per token is constant regardless of total model size.
Recurrent inference with fixed-size state — no KV cache, no quadratic scaling. Chunkwise parallel training for hardware efficiency.
1.58-bit ternary weights with low-bit activations. A 130B model fits where a 7B model normally would.
No tokenizer. The model learns directly from raw bytes, eliminating vocabulary bottlenecks and enabling true multimodal input.
We also take on consulting and contract work across our areas of expertise.
SIMD/AVX-512 optimization, distributed architectures, mTLS/PKI, CUDA interop. Microkernel OS, container runtime, and orchestrator — all from scratch.
10,000+ server fleet hardening. Terraform/OpenTofu on AWS. Built replacements for Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub, PostgreSQL, and S3.
Mining software, SHA-256 structural analysis, block construction, wallet infrastructure. Novel algebraic research on proof-of-work optimization.
Controller-level accounting, ERP implementations, multi-entity close, process automation. Month-end close in under five minutes.
Watts Up Trading LLC is Beau and Chance Watts — a two-person team in Houston, TX.
